Matt and I attended the Boise Hawks “Fan Fest” night at the Hawks stadium, Friday night. Wow! What a really cool event! This event is awesome because it’s geared around and in support of a “Drug Free Idaho”. Over thirty organizations came together in this family friendly and fun setting in support of substance abuse, prevention and education.
With the help of the Project Filter support crew, we had the Motocross Team trailer, canopies and the bikes on display. Our friends with the Health District also offered an educational game, where kids got to spin a wheel and answer questions pertaining to the negative effects of tobacco use. What a great way to educate our children! It’s always fun to have the bikes set up, the fans are always drawn to them, and we always let everyone know that by being in support of the cause it makes you a part of our team.
For Matt and I, this event was the kick off for many other events that we will be involved in this year and I have to say that if they all go this well it will be a great year for tobacco prevention. We had a lot of interest from, “I Just Quit”, to “I Want to Quit” and “I have been thinking about quitting for a long time”. We even had several people that picked up information for people in their lives that they would like to see quit. That’s why we were there and that is what it is all about. We were able to offer information about the resources available through 1-800-Quit-Now and on www.idaho.quitnet.com. Along with free classes which are being offered, Project Filter still has 4 weeks of nicotine replacement products available. Check It Out!
Thank You Project Filter for such an awesome resource for our great State! And Thank You to all the fans that stopped by to say Hi.
